2000s Decade End Hot 100 Rankdown: The Redo (Complete!)

[wrip]

1. I have no clue about the winner but some top 10 guesses are: All For You, Crazy In Love, Disturbia, Hey Ya, Hot N Cold, Love Story, Poker Face, Promiscuous, Stronger, The Way You Move, Try Again, Umbrella, Viva La Vida, Work It, Yeah… idk there’s a lot to guess lol
2. You’re Beautiful and I’m Yours are definitely here. Nickelback, My Humps, some of the random rock and stuff like Hey There Delilah
3. Maybe some of the female rock/alt stuff like So What and Girlfriend? Idk I could see those being divisive.
4. Lady Gaga right? I feel like she’s not a divisive person usually.
5. I feel like top 10, but if not then definitely top 20.
6. Bottom 10, I’m manifesting

[PREDS PRIDE]

oh I totally forgot something fairly important I was going to mention:

if you haven’t already, I HIGHLY encourage you to join the Pulse discord server, as I anticipate that most reveal discussion will take place there due to this site being a trainwreck. and you have to get verified or some shit now to make sure there’s no dupes/impersonators and that everyone is actually a pulse member, so if you’re worried about stuff like that then the server has improved so that we don’t have those issues. if that sounds interesting to you, here is a link to join the party!

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

1. Which songs do you think will make the top 10? What do you think will win?
Promiscuous, Umbrella, Viva La Vida, Poker Face, Crazy In Love, Since U Been Gone, Lose Yourself, Hot N Cold, Smooth, Yeah!
idk who'll win and I'm glad tbh, but if I have to choose, maybe SUBG?

2. Which songs do you think will be in the bottom 10? What do you think will be last place?
this is much harder, but Crank That, Right Thurr, Lollipop, some Chris Brown songs, My Humps...

5. Where do you think your 1 will end up? When do you think you'll lose your first top 10?
#1 probably at #20, first top 10 in the top 30 for sure.

6. Where do you think your last place will end up? How long to you think it will take you to clear your bottom 10?
last place at #99 or 100. Idk, but probably before the top 50.


And if you want to play the multi-song artists game:

[ilikemilk]

PLEASE do NOT have Umbrella win again.

Rather have Crank That be last again, but please, not I'm Yours, You're Beautiful, or Hey There Delilah, but if it were to be one of those, I guess I'm Yours.

Maybe I am last in closeness again. I hope my 1 makes the top half because I know my 2 and 3 will be out very early.

[rnb]

ok I love umbrella but like disturbia needs to be above it this time I hope y’all’s taste came thru with that

[ilikemilk]

I would love if the winner was something like Hey Ya, Yeah, even Since You Been Gone, or heck any of the Lady Gaga songs, or Family Affair or Try Again (why are people counting these out as winning, I don't see people hating on these songs)

But no more Rihanna but if she was going to win, Disturbia over Umbrella at least.

[zippy]

There are several bad and annoying songs in this rankdown and other songs that have worn out on me due to being overplayed. Crank That is one of those songs, yet I don't think it deserves to finish last since I remember having fun dancing to it at school so I consider that a redeeming quality. I probably would rank You're Beautiful last in this rankdown because of how irritating I've found it to be, and I already ranked it last in another ongoing rankdown.

If there are any songs that I would boost, I have Viva La Vida and The Way You Move in mind. I would also mention Stronger since that song became a big favorite when I heard back then, but then I'd ask if we can still separate the art from the artist.

And why did you not do the rankdown to help boost these? Dang... If they miss the top 10 by like 50 points at most, you can be blamed, although I'm not too sure if The Way You Move may have reached there, but Hey Ya definitely would have.

[zippy]

Because my priority has been to participate in personal rankdowns and Madness. I have yet to submit for any 100 song rankdowns. If the number of songs were cut down to ~50 or less I would be less hesitant to dedicate my time to it.

1. people have lives and aren’t constantly “bragging” (??) about having the worst closeness is a rankdown like you do and
2. it looks like zippy just wasn’t interested in most of the songs here, idk about you but I wouldn’t be participating in a rankdown if there was only a few songs that I found remotely interesting

also side note the “you can be blamed” is sending me

Okay I agree with both of your points, yes most of the songs interested me thats why I participated. And I don't like to even have the worst closeness ever, I'm just saying I feel like I may have it like its possible, but also sorry zippy I wasn't trying to insult you, I do think the more lists on any rankdown, the more fun the Rankdown becomes.

[zippy]

I am generally not as interested in these songs as others are in this forum, but I have had personal experiences with many of them that I can share. And I did participate in the 2023 Billboard Songs of the Summer Rankdown (which had 68 lists) mainly because it was quick and easy to make a list for.

[ilikemilk]

Actually I may not have the worst closeness, maybe but a few of my bottom 10s should be out in the bottom 10, but I do expect some top 10 losses very early and I expect some bottom 10s to be in the top 10, but I also expect a few top 10s in the top 10 too, hopefully. It all comes down to how things are in the middle of the rankdown.

PREDS PRIDE are you going to keep track of the closeness stats? or is somebody going to?

[SabrinaFan]

1. Which songs do you think will make the top 10? What do you think will win?
Crazy in Love, Hey Ya, Hot N Cold, Love Story, Umbrella, Smooth, Poker Face, Promiscuous, Viva La Vida, and Yeah! Maybe Umbrella will win? Idk, not sure.

2. Which songs do you think will be in the bottom 10? What do you think will be last place?
Crank That, You're Beautiful, How You Remind Me, Photograph, My Humps, Hey There Delilah, Right Thurr, Lollipop, With Arms Wide Open and I'm Yours. Crank That will probably be last place.

3. What songs do you think will have high SDs (most divisive)?
Girlfriend, I'm Yours, Run It and Buy U a Drank

4. What songs do you think will have low SDs (least divisive)?
Umbrella, Crazy in Love, Love Story, Hey Ya, Poker Face and Just Dance

5. Where do you think your 1 will end up? When do you think you'll lose your first top 10?
I think my #1 will be in the top 10. I am guessing my #8 will be the first of my top 10 to leave, but I think it will likely leave in the 70-90 range.

6. Where do you think your last place will end up? How long to you think it will take you to clear your bottom 10?
If my #100 performs anything like it did in the Worst of the 2000s polls I hosted at the beginning of the year, it will likely be out relatively quick. I don't think it will be bottom 10 but I assume it will be out shortly after that. I think my bottom 10 is generally disliked, but there may be one or two that linger for a bit. I could see it taking until 61-70 are revealed for them all to leave.

7. There are 3 songs here with both a #1 and a #100 rank (as of right now). What songs do you think those could be?
Wild guess, but "Girlfriend," "I'm Yours" and "Run It!"

8. Since I know a lot of us (myself included) were born in the 2000s, many of the songs that were #1 on our birthdays are on this list. Is yours on here, and if so how do you think it will do?
Oh gosh, this question makes me feel old lol. I was born in 1997, so my birthday #1 ("Candle in the Wind / Something in the Way You Look Tonight" by Elton John) is not on this list.

9. And if you want to play the multi-song artists game, which song by these artists do you think will be highest?
3 Doors Down (Here Without You / Kryptonite)
50 Cent (In Da Club / Candy Shop)
Alicia Keys (Fallin' / If I Ain't Got You / No One / My Boo)
Ashanti (Always On Time / Foolish)
Avril Lavigne (Complicated / Girlfriend)

And I love seeing those for some reason too. To compare who usually does the best/worst, notice some patterns.

[mikerivera]

6. Where do you think your last place will end up? How long to you think it will take you to clear your bottom 10?

i'm yours, wawo(?), sexyback

[312999]

Hey There Delilah top 5 highest SDs, calling it now.

[CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker]

Can't we just have a Timbaland song win and call it a day?

I'd like to see a tiny sample of the takes you consider to be not worse than this one.

[woods]

Submitted! My top 30 is phenomenal, it was pretty hard to rank.

It was very interesting looking back at my ranks from 2017 after I submitted.
The lists have 6 top 10s and 7 bottom 10s in common (along with 4 bottom 5s in common).
Biggest jumps: +47, +39, +34, +31, +30, +30, +26, +25, +22, +21, +21
Biggest drops: -27, -27, -26, -26, -25, -24, -20, -20, -20

[jtd Thee Stallion]

I just hope all the songs have fun.

(Except for my 99 & 100)

[PREDS PRIDE]

Submissions are now CLOSED!

Our final tally is 51 lists, that's honestly a LOT more than I expected to get so I'm extremely happy with the turnout! These reveals will be exciting and messy so I'm hyped to get started on those! I will probably start around 11 pm EST so stay tuned for then to see what goes down...

~~

Oh, and some stats before we begin:

- 28 different songs have a #1 rank
- 27 different songs have a #100 rank
- 92 songs have both a top 20 and bottom 20 rank
- 65 songs have both a top 10 and bottom 10 rank
- 36 songs have both a top 5 and bottom 5 rank
- 6 songs have both a #1 and a #100 rank (double from what I said in the questionnaire!)
- The SDs range from 18.095 to 30.619 (a bit high for the lowest SD!)
- Only two songs placed the exact same as they did in the original rankdown, and a couple songs are at least 40 spots apart from their original placements!

Oooh yayy I'm really excited to see how this rankdown plays out. Also scared for it too.
